Firm Overview:

Atlas is an independent tax-only law firm with 60 tax lawyers located in the city center of Amsterdam. The boutique-style approach combined with being highly skilled in taxation enables Atlas to provide tax services to their clients with a personal touch while operating alongside the largest advisory firms. The services offered by Atlas cover the full range of tax advisory and compliance services. Fully engaged small teams work in partnership with clients to foster long-term relationships and to act as their trusted advisor. A customer-centered agile approach enables Atlas to fully understand the clients’ needs, providing them with bespoke service and advice tailored to their circumstances.

Although Atlas is all about tax, we cooperate with specialists in other fields matching our level of experience, reliability and personal approach to provide multidisciplinary expert advice to our clients if needed. Atlas is accredited by the Dutch Association of Tax Advisers (NOB). With representation in over 100 countries, WTS Global is a leading international tax practice offering the full range of tax services. Atlas is a member of the exclusive WTS Global network. All WTS Global member firms are carefully selected through stringent quality reviews, and are strong local players in their home markets. WTS Global deliberately refrains from conducting annual audits to avoid any conflicts of interest and to be the long-term trusted advisor for its international clients. Clients of WTS Global include multinational companies, international mid-size companies as well as private clients and family offices.

Within WTS Global, Atlas has established an intensive cooperation with Tiberghien within the Benelux. With offices in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Hasselt and Luxembourg, our Benelux clients have access to our fully integrated services.
